Looks like the US gov't really is going after science. Sad but true.

@TwodpadsDown @Wuzzy I have to admit to not using their scale, but using a journalism scale used in education by the professors who are the foremost experts in journalism in the country, and possibly the world, I did rate AP as right about neutral. I do not rate editorial articles that are clearly marked editorial articles because those are opinion pieces. I don't care about their opinions, I care about their news. AP came close to neutral, NPR came close to neutral, and BBC coverage of US and Canadian news was pretty neutral, by my scale.
